Re: More "throwbacks coming"

Y'know, TPTB have to know that a lot of fans want to see the Flo-Jos back as an alternate, which is why it's so weird that they keep ignoring them.

I asked about that after the Area 55 trip to the movies (yes, Area55ers have been holding out on y'all regarding the jersey news, Sorry!), I got the impression that they probably would not be able to. Maybe something to do with Flo-Jo's estate?

Re: More "throwbacks coming"

I don't remember really liking the pinstripe jerseys, but they are the ones I grew up with, and any additional jersey would be nice. I kind of wish they'd kept the retro jerseys from last year, or even gone with the Flo-Jos, but I'm not really picky. I actually moreso wish that they would adapt Ben Phillippe's "New Look Campaign":

Re: More "throwbacks coming"

Agreed, but it will be kind of nice to see them again all the same. Still, it's weird how they keep seeming to avoid the flojo jerseys. I wonder why?

I wish we knew a reason. There has to be something. Now with this being the last season with no ad-patch on jerseys even if they do use them in the future they'll probably say Farm Bureau Insurance on them. Maybe Farm Bureau is paying them to hold off on the flo-jos for now so that they can advertise on them?

Re: More "throwbacks coming"

Man come on, how can you not have the Detroit Pistons Jerseys from the 1990's? Those were the funniest ones ever.

"It's just unfortunate that we've been penalized so much this year and nothing has happened to the Pistons, the Palace or the city of Detroit," he said. "It's almost like it's always our fault. The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."

Re: More "throwbacks coming"

I know I'm in the minority, but I really dislike the pinstripes. They just don't work on basketball uniforms, far too busy for such little real estate. But man, looking at some of those "new throwbacks," it could be a lot worse, I forgot just how ugly the NBA was around the turn of the millennium.

As long as they don't wear those terrible banana suit pinstripes I guess it'll be ok.
